Delicious Brown Sugar Chops

4 pork chops, about 1 inch thick

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons olive oil

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Rub the spice mixture all over the pork chops.

Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear each side for about 3 minutes until golden brown.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Remove from the oven and let the chops rest for 3 minutes before serving.
